You know [Many companies procure the exact
same music in many different productions]? Well,
what I do is [stretch beyond the limits of popularity and
monotony to find hidden musical gems to create the perfect ambiance
for any visual]. In fact, [I represent unknown artists and plan to build a music
library showcasing catalogs that may have been overlooked for too long but carry
artistic and creative value ].
